dremel. it's a rotary saw, small, handheld, easy to maneuver.
just figure out where you need the cuts to be, cut a small amount at a time until you get it right, test fit and keep going at it. you can always take more away, but you cant add it back if you cut too much.

yeah you can get them online, home depot, lowes, etc... im sure someone else will chime in with some more ideas, but from what i've seen dremel is the easiest and cleanest for DIY bumper cuttage - plus you can always find things to use it for in the future, such as griding, sanding, and polishing various things LOL

Cut off Wheel, Body saw, dremel hell if you are really good a reciprocating saw. the first two are Air powered tools though I'm sure you can find electric counterparts. Some tips would be measure first and cut a little at a time, and test fit with each cut. Use painters tape to tape up the pieces you'll be cutting there is no such thing as too much tape. Above all take your time and do it right the first go around or you will be buying a new bumper. And don't drive around with the FMIC hanging out someone will steal it.
